Best Practices for Scientific Paper of the Future

An article reviewing best practices and author guidelines for a Geoscience Paper of the Future appears in the special issue of the AGU Earth and Space Science journal:

• Towards the Geoscience Paper of the Future: Best Practices for Documenting and Sharing Research from Data to Software to Provenance. Yolanda Gil, Cédric H. David, Ibrahim Demir, Bakinam T. Essawy, Robinson W. Fulweiler, Jonathan L. Goodall, Leif Karlstrom, Huikyo Lee, Heath J. Mills, Ji‐Hyun Oh, Suzanne A. Pierce, Allen Pope, Mimi W. Tzeng, Sandra R. Villamizar, and Xuan Yu. DOI: 10.1002/2015EA000136.

Section 4 provides an overview of best practices, which are summarized in Table 1 and Figure 2 as an author checklist.

Some Exemplars of Geoscience Paper of the Future

Published Geoscience Papers of the Future serve as reference exemplars that illustrate how authors addressed the recommended best practices. These papers cover diverse areas of geosciences, each with particular requirements and challenges:
